Peer Tutoring<\/p>\n
Introduction:
\nDuring the Covid-19 Pandemic, there have been a lot of learning gaps due to online learning and other
\ncauses. Many of our teachers have told us that the newer groups of students that are coming into the
\nschool (for example, grade 10\u2019s that have gone to high school in 2021), are underperforming
\ncompared to previous years. A lot of these learning gaps start happening in Jr High and Elementary,
\nand if left unchecked, can cause learning problems further on. Thus, the basic idea is to create a free
\nweekly drop-in program for Elementary School Students grades 4-6 and Jr High Students (Grades 7-
\n9). On Tuesday every week, they will be tutored by High School students, and helped in any areas
\nthey might have issues with or can come over to learn a new topic and spread learning throughout the
\ncommunity. Our current plan is to offer both group and one-to-one time and help them with learning
\nnewer concepts, visualizing ideas, or even homework.<\/p>\n
Plan:
\nTentative Start Date \u2013 March 15 th , 2022
\nTentative Start Date \u2013 June 28 th , 2022
\nTotal Number of Weeks \u2013 16
\nNumber of Sessions Per Day \u2013 Two (We are planning one session for grades 4-6, and then another
\none for grades 7-9, each session will last one hour)
\nVenue \u2013 Room at Terwillegar Community Rec Centre
\nNumber of Participants \u2013 We are trying to book a room with a 60-person max capacity, however
\nCovid might impose some restrictions on the number of students, we will try to keep no more than 50
\nstudents per session, allowing for a manageable amount of students.
\nMembers \u2013 The project will rely on a number of weekly high school volunteers, however, there are
\nthree executive members will be present throughout the program and will be responsible for the
\nrunning of the program:<\/p>\n
\uf0b7 Anmol Dubey – a.dubey3@share.epsb.ca
\n\uf0b7 Devon Brewster – d.brewster1@share.epsb.ca
\n\uf0b7 Jonathan Li – j.li47@share.epsb.ca<\/p>\n
Benefits to the Community \u2013
\nAs we have already discussed in the introduction, there are numerous advantages to holding a weekly
\ntutoring session like this in our community. It will help students in need of academic help to get some
\nof that help and fill whatever knowledge gaps they may have. It will help promote an environment
\nwhere learning is emphasized on. It will provide a safe space for students to go once a week and
\nspend time focusing on schoolwork and helping the students build better futures. Those are just a few
\nof the numerous benefits a program like this can have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
